Real Madrid hand a rare start to Asier Illarramendi for their crunch trip to Celta Vigo in La Liga, which kicks off at 20:00 BST.
The midfielder has found himself on Los Blancos’ periphery for much of the season, but his inclusion allows Sergio Ramos to move back into defence. Marcelo, meanwhile, returns in place of Fabio Coentrao.
Elsewhere, Chicharito continues in Karim Benzema’s absence, having scored the winner against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League midweek.
Madrid’s last trip to Balaidos came in the penultimate round of last season and culminated in a 2-0 defeat, a result which knocked them out of the title race.
